Is there a g factor for fitness?

Novartis Foundation symposium - 1 Jan 2000

Houle D

Abstract excerpt

Biological fitness is a directly observable quantity with well-known causal components, in contrast to the latent 'g' factor of psychometrics. The study of the causes of variation in fitness should therefore be simpler than the study of variation in mental abilities, but a paucity of data has kep...
